Qin Yubai quietly observed Jian Zhizhen's reaction, then heard his irritable AI complaining:

[Qin Wang: I know it's normal to give a girl a nickname when you're pursuing her, but the one you came up with is so tacky and outdated. "Young Lady"? It's seriously so tacky! I can't take it anymore! I hope the next version will have a self-destruct mode!]

"..."

AI still can't accurately grasp human psychology at all times.

Was that a nickname he gave to Jian Zhizhen?

He's jealous! He's being sarcastic!

Qin Yubai reached out and turned off Qin Wang's energy mode, preventing him from speaking.

The room fell completely silent.

After a while, Jian Zhizhen changed the subject: "Last time Lin Yunfei even splashed boiling water on me... Why do you think Lin Yunfei is so hostile towards me? Does she know Lin Yi's true identity and is afraid I'll take her brother away?"

She wanted to just let bygones be bygones regarding the "young lady" incident.

Qin Yubai thought about it seriously for a moment: "Hmm, she definitely knows more than we do. Maybe the reason your brother disappeared back then was related to her."

Chien Chih-chen found it hard to believe: "She was probably only five years old back then, just like me. How could someone that young do bad things?"

Qin Yubai said, "I've looked up information about her. Fourteen years ago, in an interview about Lin Zong retiring from the entertainment industry, Lin Zong mentioned, 'My daughter told my fortune and told me to retire from the industry as soon as possible.' She could tell fortunes at the age of five, so why can't she do bad things?"

Jian Zhizhen was silent for a moment, then nodded.

“Nothing is certain right now.” Qin Yubai paused, then reached out and patted her head. “You need to be a little aware of the risks, my dear lady.”

"..." Jian Zhizhen was speechless. All she did was praise a guy who was just "on the fringes," and Qin Yubai was still angry about it.

She asked helplessly, "How long are you going to stay angry?"

Qin Yubai said slowly, "I'm not angry."

"...So how long are you going to keep calling me that?"

"This?" Qin Yubai seemed to have considered it seriously for a moment, then casually replied, "For a lifetime."

He paused deliberately, a playful smile on his face: "My young lady."

Jian Zhizhen frowned, raised her hand and lightly punched him: "Go back to your room and go to sleep!"

Qin Yubai thought that Xu Qiuyuan should be back by now.

He nodded and said goodbye to her: "Goodnight, my lady."

Although his tone was as gentle and light as ever, it revealed a sense of smugness, as if he wanted to get beaten up.

Jian Zhizhen clenched her fists.

Fortunately, Qin Yu ran fast, otherwise he would have been caught in a series of punches.

...

The lights were still on in Lin Yunfei and Zhai Qinghe's room.

Lin Yunfei planned to go to sleep first, as she needed to get up early the next morning for morning exercise and to go out and observe this space-time to find a breakthrough.

But Zhai Qinghe, sitting on the bed, nervously stared at her equipment.

Lin Yunfei couldn't sleep because of the bright light, and asked helplessly, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Aren't you afraid of getting dark circles under your eyes?"

Zhai Qinghe said nervously, "The school system will refresh right after midnight tonight, and we'll be able to see the final exam results."

Zhai Qinghe was secretly pleased, feeling that her final exam results would definitely help her redeem her reputation.

After all, she got the exact same questions.

Besides being nervous, Zhai Qinghe was more excited: "I've already told my company that as soon as the results come out, they'll buy a trending topic about me being a true academic genius."

Of course, this trending topic is simply to solidify Zhai Qinghe's image as a top student; they won't pay attention to Jian Zhizhen.

Even if Zhai Qinghe got full marks and Jian Zhizhen failed everything, her team wouldn't be so stupid as to use Zhai Qinghe, who has an ordinary undergraduate degree, to put down Jian Zhizhen, who has a Peking University degree.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunfei immediately lost her sleepiness and wanted to watch the excitement.

She sat up and looked at Zhai Qinghe: "I also hope that you can turn the tide in this exam."

Zhai Qinghe believed that she was sincere.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

She glanced at the time; there were still fifteen minutes until the results were released.

Since there was nothing else to do, I started chatting with Lin Yunfei: "Since you can calculate the original problem for me, you should be able to calculate the original problem for yourself, right? It would be so easy for you to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, so why did you go to film school?"

After all, in Zhai Qinghe's eyes, no matter how well art students do in their exams, they can't compete with Peking University students for the title of "academic superstar".

Lin Yunfei smiled and said, "I already have enough accolades, I don't care about being a top student."

She could indeed rely on the database to easily score higher than Jian Zhizhen and create a persona of a top student.

But she is different from Jian Zhizhen.

Chien Chih-chen entered the entertainment industry with a purpose.

As for myself, it's because of my passion that I want to focus on developing my career in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, for her, the connections she made with directors, screenwriters, and colleagues at the film academy are definitely more important than the "academic superstar" persona.

Zhai Qinghe is so stubborn. Even though she was completely outmatched by Jian Zhizhen in academics, she still insists on clinging to this persona.

After hearing Lin Yunfei's answer, Zhai Qinghe pursed her lips and remained silent.

Although I was unconvinced, I had to admit that what they said was right.

Daughter of a movie star, the youngest actress to win an award, a girl with a mysterious background... each of her accolades is dazzlingly bright, there's no need for her to be a "top student" as well.

Finally, it was midnight.

The school's official website refreshed automatically.

Zhai Qinghe immediately saw her results.

Each subject had a maximum score of 100, and her scores in more than ten subjects were: 92, 88, 90...
